Gobliins 2




Funny creatures with funny expressions

The newest addition to my collection is Coktel Vision's Gobliins 2. The cover is cheesy; it's meant to be - look at their silly faces which are creepy too. I only wish the sticker on the left wasn't there as I can see eyes looking at me! (I hate it when they would put their stickers on boxes!!). Anyhow, superb box art.

I've never played a "Goblins" game so, this is new to me. In this sequel, a demon king has kidnapped The Prince (who's a bit of a Buffoon) but the gruesome twosome will save the day: Fingus and Winkle. This is a unique "co-op" adventure and one I'm dying to boot up later. [grab the floppy or hard drive downloads]

I wasn't sure what to expect when I booted it up. It's different and comical but also has characteristics of other point-and-click adventures like, say, Lure Of The Temptress. I wish I had been able to buy both of the Goblin games so I could play the original. I guess I download will suffice.

This looks incredible though and I'm excited to play it. Let's view some box/screenshots...


Can you imagine seeing the back of this in a shop? It's so "buy me!"


The manual is short but straight to the point with information and lots of tips to get you started.


Ah, the previous owner marked his possession!! I wonder who S Scott is?


Codes to stop crackers? Well, maybe not but definitely to annoy legit buyers!



Well, I think he's choking a chicken while a giant sleeps under a tree. Nice scene!



LOL Just look at the old dude in the window. Awesome artwork.



This game is certainly living up to my expectations. I'm having a blast playing this belter!!
